Wink Re: More NHRA horsepower factors
I think they need to hit the 1969 iron head 396-375 Chevy engine again. Its only @ 412 and everybody knows it was originally rated @ 425 in 1965.

What makes the least sense about that 1978 firebird 350 combo is that it has the same specs as a 1977 camaro 350 that's only rated at 269 but the firebird is 283 and was originally moved to 269 but now back to 283. Anyone have an explanation for that? I thought all vehicles of the same platform with the same engines were rated the same. All other camaro/firebird combos are factored the same whether in a camaro or firebird throughout the entire guide. Uncle Jeff what's the scoop? I know you know...lol

The '77-'79 350s are all the same specs and they should be all the same power factor regardless of model or body style. NHRA should be factoring engines based on the potential performance, not people who can make them go fast.
